Great movie, but leading actor has typical set backs from masking accent.

Rating: 9/10 (7 October 2013)

This movie was great! Just about every thing was perfect.
My only real complaint is the leading actor. Charlie Hunnam is big on action and short on some of his acting. He does have that slow speech non-American actors have when attempting to mask their accent. It really damages the chemistry between the two leads because he is focusing so hard on sounding a certain way. It just wasn't natural for him. I'm not going to go so far as to say he can't act, but I think his performance could have been better and more natural if he could have just spoke how is he accustomed to.
Masking an accent really hinders the actors abilities to connect with their character.
If you can power past the lead actors annoying drawl you will no doubt enjoy this movie if you like action, robots, big explosions, Asian culture, well-done monsters and a surprisingly good story.
